More morans

This one comes from the tales of a family friend who worked in a gun shop.

For the last time, I am tired of hearing this from people I’m discussing such things with: NO, THE COPS ARE UNDER NO OBLIGATION TO TELL YOU THAT THEY’RE COPS. NONE. ZERO. If you’re doing something illegal, and you ask a suspected cop if they’re a cop, THEY ARE FULLY ALLOWED TO LIE ABOUT IT. THIS IS NOT UP FOR DEBATE.

Secondly, contrary to popular belief, Buck & Ball ammo is totally legal in the USA. Hell, I have 25 of such shells hanging in a bandolier in my kitchen. Purchased at Cabela’s. I had to correct a guy at a gun show last year on this, and he looked at me like I was lying. No, it’s legal. It’s perfectly legal, as are so-called “dum-dum” bullets. Fact of the matter is that pretty much any ammunition you can imagine is legal.

About the “Combat City” story: Maybe. maybe not. It looks to me like the reporters did their typical “screw the facts, just sensationalize the hell out of things and make the gun nuts look like morons” schtick.

I’d have to see their safety setup, but if they’re shaking down every customer before they enter the area, and doing their other safety things right, I don’t see much difference between this and Airsoft or Paintball…

Actually, it depends on the state. The fascist fucks in Illinois during their state level gun seizures, targeted a lot of custom ammo for shotguns and passed statutes to prevent future sales and ownership. Much of the “OMG!!!! Obama coming to get your guns BS!!!” is due to these laws that are state only that were passed before Obama was even a Congress Critter.

Actually, your link to the dumbist idea ever has been used by police for some time in order to simulate real world training. Now, granted the normal person may not need to simulate combat in such a way and some idiot will fuck it up at home I am sure.

Even rubber bullets at the wrong angle in the wrong place can kill. I know someone with a plastic airsoft BB lodged in their neck permanently because it’s pressed up against their jugular and the risk of removing it is too high all because they were horsing around with the pistol at close range. Even protective gear doesn’t protect everywhere all the time. Sure it would be a freak accident, but it only takes one and I don’t see the sense in encouraging ordinary (tr: dumb) people to shoot at one another.

This still makes me cross eyed. Why on earth does anyone go into a gun shop (or any other shop, like certain “glassware” shops) that is watched regularly by the police & DOJ, then ask to buy “black market” anything!? Dude should have been charged a five dollar exit fee and stupid tax just for asking the question.
